Everything was just so subdued and delicate which made the horror SO much more impactful. I actually enjoyed Fresh a lot but I sort of cooled on it a bit now. I think tonally it was a little milquetoast, like on constant edge of "oh, should I be quirky and fun" or "oh, should I be serious and dour" without ever really settling on one. I just watched Mad God a few days ago. The visuals are just absolutely stunning. I want to say it's my new favorite Stop-Motion movie just on looks alone...? Like, the sheer amount of creativity and work that went into this is mind-boggling. Not a frame goes by without something interesting catching your eye and this is kept up the entire run time. Yet... the plot honestly let me down a little. I love a good allegorical symbol-fest as much as the next guy, but I don't think it's too much to ask to have at least a little bit of an explanation of what's going on. I think it would've been a perfect movie if the plot was just expanded in just a few more directions. My rankings so far:
